+(define-public font-fira-sans
+ ;; Fira Sans v4.203 (which corresponds to Fira Mono v3.206) is the final
+ ;; version to include UFO sources. It is the same version packaged by other
+ ;; notable distributors, including Google Fonts. Note that the "reserved
+ ;; font name" was removed by the copyright holders.
+ ;;
+ ;; The upstream release includes a "Fira Code" which "is Fira Mono 3.206
+ ;; with less Line Space (1.0) – does not include programming ligatures". We
+ ;; do not package that: our 'font-fira-code' package (like e.g. Debian's
+ ;; "fonts-firacode") is the much better known Fira Code font by Nikita
+ ;; Prokopov, which is an older, independent adaptation of Fira Mono. For the
+ ;; historical relationship between them, see:
+ ;; https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/issues/218
+ ;;
+ ;; For a lengthy discussion of the available sources and versions,
